Looking to purchase and install the IKamper 4.0 Quad RTT but not sure what i need from a cross bar perspective? I know this is a larger RTT but wondering if I can still use the OEM roof rails with either additional OEM cross bars, or do I need to purchase stronger aftermarket cross bars? Not sure the OEM roof rails are strong enough even with stronger aftermarket cross bars. Appreciate any/all thoughts.
Found additional info on this topic searching under "dynamic" and "static" load, will add some aftermarket cross bars from Rhino Rack and go from there.
I'll start this thread with a video that got me thinking about roof load limits. All I have ever seen or looked at are static vs dynamic limits, but it seems the dynamic limits should be broken out into two separate numbers: On-Road vs Off-Road. Take a look at the whiteboard portion of this video and then lets do some math.
The best estimate I have found for the dynamic (on-road) roof carrying capacity of the 200 series is 200kg (440lbs), important to note this is not the capacity of the bars, but the roof itself so far as I can find.
